Obviously is a great thing but 20 minutes would certainly cut into your lunch hour if you have to have the test before going into a cafe and they have it again before you go back to work.

Will employers require employees to have it before they commence work in the morning and if so will it be on the bosses time or the employees time. Will they all be left standing outside socially distant in the rain waiting the 20 minutes.

Then think about how mass Covid testing is done now. You pull up beside the mobile testing unit in your car and they take the swab and your details and you find out later. Twenty minutes is a bit too long to have everyone test and wait for the result before going about their business. If you test 10,000 people in a day by 20 minutes that is 200,000 minutes of waiting time or 3,333.34 hours waiting time you add to the time taken to test 10,000 people. Clearly you are still going to have the problem of contacting those who test positive but of course you will be contacting them sooner than at present which is an advantage.

It would be useful in a hospital setting where patients are sitting in casualty waiting to be seen or admitted.


Lots of issues with a delay of 20 minutes.

My opinion only DYOR.
